Exploring the Southern Highlands with Your Four-Legged Friend

Travelling with your pet? You’ll be glad to know that Mittagong Holiday Park makes it easy to bring your furry companion along for the adventure. With shady open spaces, dog-friendly sites, and walking tracks just minutes away, this is the kind of place both you and your four-legged friend will love.

Start your day with a peaceful stroll through Lake Alexandra Reserve, a local favourite where ducks glide across the water and native trees line the walking paths. The flat, easy loop is perfect for a morning stretch before a day of exploring. There are picnic tables, barbecue areas, and even a playground for families, making it a spot everyone can enjoy — tails included.

For those who love a longer walk, Gibbergunyah Reserve offers an escape into nature right on Mittagong’s edge. The network of trails winds through eucalyptus forest and rocky outcrops, giving your pup plenty to sniff and explore. Keep the lead handy, as local wildlife is often about.

If you’re looking for a relaxed afternoon, take a drive to Bowral’s Corbett Gardens, where the open lawns and seasonal flower displays make a lovely backdrop for a quiet wander. Dogs on leads are welcome in the surrounding areas, and there’s no shortage of coffee stops along the way.

Back at Mittagong Holiday Park, unwind beneath the trees while your dog stretches out beside you. It’s the perfect way to end a day of fresh air, good food, and friendly local charm — the kind of country comfort that makes the Southern Highlands feel like home.
